Zoning
BACKGROUND:
Xuan Thu Thi Pham has requested that the zoning on the property located at 221 8th Street N.E. be
changed to Commercial (C) for the purpose of operating a spa and nail salon. She stated at the Planning
and Zoning Cominission hearing that she will be using only a 20' x 20' room in her home to operate the
business; therefore, because Commercial zoning allows for a larger variety of uses, the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended that the property be rezoned to Neighborhood Service (NS) instead
and the City Council, at its January 12, 2009, meeting, followed that recommendation.
BOARD/CAMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Commission recommended that this property be rezoned to Neighborhood Service (NS) by a vote of
4-0.

Dear Commissioners,
For the purpose of conducting business, I submit this application to you and respectfully
request your approval for the zoning change of my property that is located on 221 8"'
Street, City of Paris, State of Texas.
The inentioned property ctilrrently is a residential bliilding, that was built originally in
1920, was remodeled during 1990's (used to conduct "Bed and Breakfast" business
according to words provided by the seller's daughter-- and converted into a rental
property later on) and finally remodeled again following its acquisition in September of
2006. With a significant amoiant of effort, I have brought this property from unlivable
condition to a decent one. Now, I would lilce to use this property as a place to provide the
services to the people of Paris those I treasure the relationship.
My business shall be veiy much "hoine-base" in nature. With a limited number of
custoiners patronize each day, it will not adversely affect my neighbors. In addition, the
area is already a"mix of residential and commercial uses" with heavy traffic flow
through 8t" street each day via Pine Bluff street and Lamar street (their intersections is
only few hundred feet away from my property) therefore the presence of my business will
not change the existing conditions. Further more,.as far as I can see, the overall structure
of the building will not be altered, regardless improvements in the future, therefore my
business establishment will not cause any adverse iinpact for the slu-rounding area.
I believe, in my humble opinion, that the establishment of my busiiiess on the 8`" street
will enhance the safety, the beauty and the value of my own as well as oFmy neighbor's
property. More important, it certainly will generate economic benefits to siipport my
family as well as to contribute to the econoinic health of this city.
Again, for the stated purpose, I request your approval. Paris is a better place to live,
according to my choice, it should also be a better place to do business. As an end note, I
would like to say thanl< you for your time. And, your I<ind consideration is greatly
appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Lisa A. Wright, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Zoning Change Requests
DATE: December 22, 2008
The following zoning change request will be presented at the January 5, 2009, meeting of
the Planning and Zoning Commission and the January 12, 2009, meeting of the City Council of the
City of Paris for consideration:
Pham, Xuan Thu Thi is requesting that the property located on Lot 11, City Block 35, being
number 221 8"' Street N.E., be rezoned from a Multiple-Family Dwelling District No. 1
(MF-1) to a Commercial District (C) for the puipose of operating and spa and nail salon.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends that this property be zoned Low Density
Residential; therefore, the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan Map must be
amended in order to approve this request. A separate hearing on revising the Plan will
precede this item on the agenda.
Additionally, parking requirements must be taken into consideration at the time of
re-zoning. The Parking Ordinance requires on-site parking in an amount dependent upon
the total square footage of the structure devoted to the business enterprise (1 parking space
for every 200 square feet). Additionally, because this property is adjacent to a
residentially zoned area, the parking must be screened and located either beside or behind
the building.
Therefore, before the applicant could open the proposed business, additional paved and
screened parking must be added. lf a variance is requested of and granted by the Board of
Adjustments, parking along the residential street is the most likely alternative.

Attn: Lisa A Wright
Dear Ms. Wright:
This letter is in response to your letter dated December 22. 2008 regarding the
Pham Zuan Thu Thi request for zoning change from Multiple -Family Dwelling
District No. 1(MF-1) to a Commercial District (C) on Lot 11, City Block 35, Being
numbered 221 8t" Street N. E.
The purpose of this letter is to inform the Planning and Zoning Commission that I
am opposed to the change. This area is a small residential area with many
senior residents who are already concerned with the amount of traffic and crime
ip t~R argp. 109 not believe that this small residential area should be
cprytMp-rcially developed.
I am unable to attend the meeting scheduled for January 5, 2009, but I am
requesting that the Commission deny the request for change.
Than you,
